[This wasn't home. This didn't smell or look anything like home. Where was the snow? Where were the trees? Where were those cloudy skies? Those mountains? And why was he surrounded by so many humans

[Nami was going to suggest the guys and her split up to find where Chopper disappeared to. Yet to her annoyance, they had already left. While Nami trusted Zoro's ability to find the way around the city he'd been in so long, she didn't trust Luffy one bit. Her only option was to hunt for them herself, all of them.
Leaving the apartment in a huff, she goes in hunt of her nakama. It didn't really take her long to find Chopper at all, to her relief.]
Ah! Chopper, there you are! What are you doing out here by yourself? It's not that safe, you know!
[The voice took him by surprise as he froze up again, staring warily at who found him. This girl didn't seem to have a weapon on her, but that didn't matter. She was still a human, and he had no idea why she was even talking to him as if he was familiar. Like he'd ever talk with a human.
However, he still couldn't help think that she somehow knew he could indeed talk, which made no sense at all.
There was no time to think about it though. He had to make another quick escape, but he needed to be careful about it. Glaring angrily at Nami, Chopper slowly inched away, waiting for the right time to start running.]
[Something was clearly wrong. It wasn't like Chopper to act like this at all. Her immediate reaction that he is is sick and hurt, but after a quick glance she sees no apparent harm done to his body.
Carefully, she bends down to her level, sticking a hand out palm-up like she would for a normal animal.]
[Chopper? What did that even mean? Why was she acting like this?
The reindeer kept his ground, staring at her cautiously and not making any move to get closer or respond. If she stepped forward, he'd take ten steps back, and if she tried to reach for him more... he lost the ability to grow big or run away in his normal reindeer form, but that didn't mean he couldn't try to attack her, or just yell at her to get her scared enough to escape.]

[The reason it took these muns two days to respond is because the muses had gotten lost. Following Luffy's or Zoro's directions in any way, especially when they were both running around frantically and the captain was scratching--like he was told not to, of course--wasn't the best way to get anywhere productive.
By the time Luffy and Zoro reached near the boat, the two had to stop for breath. Luffy panted, the hand holding Chopper's hat resting on his knee as he huffed.]
How did we end up at the forest first?!
["Stupidity" would be the correct answer. Luffy looked over at Zoro before glancing around at the area.] Man, where is he?
SPECIAL MAY OR MAY NOT BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT COMMENTLOGthreeswordMay 13 2010, 05:58:50 UTC
[Stupidity and the fact that Zoro can't tell north from south didn't really help. Zoro paused, placing his hands on his thighs and hunching forward in an attempt to catch his breath.]
The hell if I'm supposed to know!
[There's another pause as he stands upright, looking around as well. His eyebrow is quirked curiously, as if that's magically going to find Chopper.]
SO SPECIAL WE MIGHT NEED TO CREATE A NEW WORD FOR SPECIAL COMMENTLOGbokuwadoctaaaMay 13 2010, 20:27:54 UTC
[After all of his wandering and searching without finding a single speck of snow or familiar land, Chopper had ended up at a large hole in the ground with water in it. He'd stared at it in amazement because... he'd never seen this before.]
...lake?
[Carefully he tried to get a little closer for a better look, wondering if he could touch the water until he stopped. His head jerked up as his ears twitched.
Someone was coming here, but there was nowhere to hide in this area. Scrambling up, Chopper tried to see if he could somehow sneak away quickly before being seen.]
SUPER SPECIAL DELAY FOR WHATEVER-WE'RE-NAMING-SPECIAL HEREihasastrawhatMay 17 2010, 04:35:41 UTC
Yeah! He's somewhere... we ran around everywhere...
[Okay, enough of this pause. He straightens up, looking around for a little. Somewhere... Of course, he had no idea where this 'somewhere close' could be--hell, who would--but he was going to find it anyway.
{This is Ace out for a wander around the city when he spots a blaze of brown fur. Or so he thinks. He double takes peering around for it again. It was on the move whatever it was. Might be a monster, so he shifts into a more defensive posture.
He spots some movement around the corner of one building and creeps slowly towards it, spotting the young reindeer. What was he hiding from? He approaches him, easing into a more casual swagger and looking rather concerned.}
[As many hiding spots as he'd been able to find, none of them seemed to work, because he was just constantly being found. This wouldn't do at all. And just when he thought he'd finally found the perfect spot, there was another weird voice saying that same word.
Chopper stopped, never taking a chance to turn around before he immediately started running again.]
{Oh he's deeply concerned by his sudden escape and he jogs a bit after him only to slow and watch him run away. Maybe he'd been wrong after all? He hadn't seen his face. Could it be that there are other creatures like him living in Discedo? He wasn't sure just WHAT he was after all, anything was possible. Part of him wanted to chase him down, the other... just hoped that if it WAS Chopper, that he'd be alright.}
